Help with accessories

I’ve just bought this dress to wear to a wedding in Ireland in September. I’m wondering about the best colour for accessories - shoes, fascinator etc. Navy would be safe but I’m wondering if a string pink could work? I’m doing dark haired and fair skinned with blue eyes. Thanks! www.lkbennett.com/product/CDISABELSILKYellowCitrine~Isabel-Silk-Dress-Citrine

What a gorgeous dress and love that colour its so unusual.

I would agree with navy (& would probably be what I would wear with it) but think if it's something you could carry off pink would work well too and would be quite striking.

On Pinterest the models tend to go with gold, so that may be an option?

Amal Clooney wore a similar colour to the royal wedding this year so might be worth a look at her too.

I would go for a court shoe with quite a nice shape to it and match the bag. Personally, I wouldn't really wear a fascinator but would do something lovely with my hair.

Sorry not much help 🤣

I'm no use with colour suggestions I'm afraid (think navy will look great) but just wanted to say it's a beautiful dress!

Thank you both. I'll try a few different hair options out - I have some lovely floral navy headpieces from other events. My hair is growing back after chemo - is now a bob which is wonderful but as I used to have very long, thick hair I'm a bit lost!

I'm sure that it will look super fab with a bob 😘 xx

Gorgeous dress OP. Amal wore her yellow dress with gold shoes and clutch to royal wedding. I think it goes very well together so would recommend that. Navy would also look fab.

If you fancy the pink, what about a gold shoe and a good pink clutch?

I'm a massive fan of pink and even consider it as a "neutral" sometimes but I honestly can't think of any type of pink that would go or even contrast with it. I would go with navy but perhaps a lighter navy if you can.

Simply stunning dress BTW.
